Request
A request for 1) a 10 foot variance from the 20 foot rear setback on Lots 28-31 to allow a 10 foot rear setback and 2) a 5 foot variance from 20 foot rear setback on Lot 3 to allow a 15 rear setback, as described in Section 35-310.01.
Executive Summary
The subject property is currently vacant and is proposed to be subdivided into 56 single-family lots, as a part of the Freedom Hills Subdivision Plat. Under the current "R-5" zoning, each lot will need to provide a 20 foot rear setback. The applicant is requesting a 10 foot rear setback for four (4) lots that abut Ray Ellison Blvd. (Lots 28-31) as those lots do not allow for adequately sized building pads due to irregularities of the rear property line. According to the applicant, the irregularities of the rear property line were created when the previous land owner conveyed small, irregular shaped parcels of the Low Impact Development (LID) improvements installed by the City as part of the Ray Ellison Blvd Street and Bond Project. The 15 foot setback for Lot 3 is also due to the unconventional shape of the corner, triangular lot.
